And, of course, from the usual camp it was already read that this is just a conspirative anti-US action to harm Boing ...

That the plane just really has a huge problem, can not be for these people, as always ... and how ever at the DC-10 scandal with the hatchback what MacDonell Douglas broke the backbone in the end, eh?

Not sure what the point here is. Boeing will provide an update to the controls manual, and the maintenance update will reflect the need to review the flight sensor that needs to be addressed. There have been two examples in the US neither of which ended in a crash. US pilots were better trained, and more able to correct the control issue and didn't have to rely on the automated piloting system to do their job for them.

So you think these African pilots were dumbasses in cockpit in comparision?

I say the grounding is very verified for the next 3 month until the first issue sof the black boxes are known and checked!

P.S.
And I would say the same if it was an Aribus and not a Boing... this makes no difference for me!

I'd say the fact speak for themselves. I expect that the FAA will provide their recommendations, and when they do, Boeing will address those if they haven't already. I don't expect that this would be a different conversation if the plane had been produced by Airbus. I would make the same observation.

At least for my side, I can assure you I do not care if the plane from Boing, Airbus or "Miller & Son" is in the case and any other weird plane crash where obviously something went really wrong!

Of course, the aircraft delivered to date have no idea how many thousand flying hours in total and then 2 crashes ... strange crashes of very experienced crews that were up to date!

In this context, I remind you of the scandal with the DC-10 earlier ... there were only two crashes of thousands of flights and still had the plane 2 graveirende defects that led to the disaster. Again, the FAA did nothing at first, and then only on considerable pressure!

What a problem? It could destroy Boeing, yet how can we not ground them? Even if the problem is solved, can the jets ever be trusted? I don't think so!

So before the recommendations, flights should still be allowed even though there is a catastrophic bug in the software that causes the plane to nosedive?

Add Australia to that list too. All those aviation authorities which usually always instantly follow the lead of the world leading and highly regarded FAA when it takes action against a plane, now taking action that the FAA isn't taking. It is certainly quite curious.
